De Silva, Peer. Sub Rosa: The CIA and the Uses of Intelligence. New York: New York Times Books, 1978.

Clark comment: This is De Silva's memoir of his intelligence career from 1945 to 1973. He was the CIA Chief of Station in Vietnam 1964-1965, where he was injured by a terrorist bomb.

Pforzheimer finds that De Silva's presentation "suffers from the author's garrulous details of his personal life"; however, the book "brings out the flavor of an intelligence career."

For Constantinides, much of what De Silva recounts about the Vietnam War "does not enlighten us about the intelligence effort and operations that provided the basis of his ... opinions."

"Despite interdepartmental battles over personnel and access to information, the USSR Division [of OSS' Research and Analysis Branch (R&A)] and the State Department reached a productive, working relationship born of mutual need" during the wartime years. Nevertheless, "the State Department rejected the idea that the Research and Analysis Branch would be incorporated" in State's analysis and policymaking process. In so doing, "State had clearly lost the opportunity to take the lead in intelligence activities."

"Insight has unearthed the code names of Americans run by just one Stasi branch, the Leipzig-based Department XV. That department alone oversaw the spying of nine American moles in the mid- to late-1980s.... FBI sources say they have under active investigation a number of former East German and Russian spies. The Stasi files secured during the Insight/BBC investigation suggest there could be as many as 70. The FBI didn't discount this number."

"A 15-month probe by Insight and the BBC uncovers a secret stash of East German intelligence documents detailing the recruitment of U.S. and U.K. agents....

"[F]or Communist spymasters,... [student exchange] programs had one use only: They served as a rich source for recruiting American and British students as long-term penetration agents who could be groomed to work their way into government jobs in their own countries -- or into other influential spots in journalism, business, higher education (including scientific and technical studies) or the military....

"Longtime HVA [Hauptverwaltung Aufklarung] head [Marcus] Wolf has acknowledged in an interview with Insight/BBC that his organization made strenuous efforts to recruit ... foreign students and academics and that Americans especially were important."
